Application

PhotoHA-RUT bioink kit consists of methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) and ruthenium photoinitiator. Hyaluronic acid is the most abundant glycosaminoglycan in the body being an important component of several tissues throughout the body. While it is abundant in extracellular matrices, hyaluronic acid also contributes to tissue hydrodynamics, movement and proliferation of cells, and participates in a number of cell surface receptor interactions. The photoinitiator consists of ruthenium and sodium persulfate to be formulated in 1X cell culture media or PBS, which allows visible light photocrosslinking of the printed structure at 400-450 nm. PhotoHA-RUT provides native-like 3D HA gels, and the final gel stiffness can be customized by changing HA concentrations and crosslinking.

In bone regenerative medicine there is a need for suitable bone substitutes. Hydrogels have excellent biocompatible and biodegradable characteristics, but their visco-elastic properties limit their applicability, especially with respect to 3D bioprinting. In this study, we modified the naturally occurring

While significant progress has been made in directing the behavior of cells encapsulated within three-dimensional (3D) covalently crosslinked hydrogels, the capacity of these materials to support in situ cryopreservation of cells directly within the gels has not been assessed. Here
